Well, it was spring break and we were in Paris, TX. That's as close as we are getting right now ;). It was a fun day trip with the kids to get to experience a fun town not too far away from us. We had originally planned for Wednesday, but when Nathan took the van keys our trip got delayed to Friday. That ended up working out really well though because the museums we visited were only opened on Friday and Saturday. Then we were contending with rain storms. It was crazy. We got to see the cemetery when we first arrived, but then the rain came. We headed over to the museums and while there it hailed. It was a bummer to not get to spend more time outside, but overall it was a great trip!
The first museum we went to was about the history of Paris. One of the interesting stories was about the big fire of 1916, 100 years ago! Plus there was a lot of antique stuff that we got to see up close and personal!
Check out that piano!

Much better once you open the door ;)
The mighty hail came while we were inside. Gus took a beating!
Our second museum! This one was across the parking lot and holds rotating exhibits. They also had fun activities for the kids to do.

It was an adventure for sure! So glad we got out and enjoyed a cute small town!
